Brothers Sought In Connection With Shooting Death Near Hartford School

HARTFORD — Police are searching for two brothers in connection with the shooting death of a 25-year-old near the parking lot of a North End school on July 10.

On Tuesday, Major Crimes Division detectives obtained arrest warrants for 34-year-old Kunta Soyini, of Hartford, and 37-year-old Quan Soyini, of Manchester, said Lt. Brian Foley, head of the division.

The warrant for Kunta Soyini charges him with murder and carrying a dangerous weapon. Quan Soyini is also facing a murder charge, as well as conspiracy to commit murder and aiding and abetting, Foley said.

The victim, Chimar Gordon, was found with a gunshot wound to the torso in the north parking lot of Jumoke Academy at Milner, at 104 Vine St., shortly after 10:15 a.m. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police have not recovered the gun that was used in the shooting, Foley said.

Court records indicate that the Soyini brothers are both convicted felons.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are involved in the search, said Foley. Anyone with information on the Soyinis' location is urged not to approach them, and to call Lt. Foley at 860-757-4463 or Crime Stoppers at 860-722-TIPS.
